I saw you at 9 this morning and I thought I should point out a few things.

1) It doesn't happen on both sides. You kept saying it did. But you never gave an example. OK, you gave ONE example. You said that when Ann Coulter says John Edwards should die, she gets flak, but when Bill Maher says the world would be better off if Dick Cheney died, he gets applause. Which brings me to my next point:

2) There's a slight difference between what Ann said and what Bill said. Ann said John Edwards should die for no reason at all. Bill said the world would be better off if Dick Cheney died because Dick Cheney is directly responsible for so many deaths in the world--that is true whether or not you feel those deaths were justified--and there may (or may not) be some equity there.

3) Finally, you said, "The sad thing is that Ann will use it to sell more books." If you truly find this sad, can I point out a way it could be remedied? Perhaps she wouldn't get in these on-air scuffles if she wasn't on air. And yet you and your friend Chris (who was on the bottom half of the screen at 9 am) keep putting her on the air. Why not, um, I dunno, STOP?

Love,

The Witch

I'm the hitch. I'm what no one believes. I'm the witch.
